NREA Youth Energy Camp
Each year in July North Central PPD, a member of the Nebraska Rural Electric Association (NREA) sponsors three to four students to attend the NREA Youth Energy Camp held at the State 4-H Camp in the Halsey National Forest. This camp has been held for over 25 years. This camp was organized by NREA with the intentions of educating young men and women grades 9, 10 and 11, about rural electrification and to show them the opportunities for future careers in rural electrification. In addition, those attending camp will have a chance to learn new leadership skills, grow socially and serve as an ambassador to NREA’s Rural Electric National Youth Tour in Washington D.C., make many new friends, and most importantly…HAVE A GREAT TIME!!
This camp is intermingled with
- A “Get acquainted” party
- Fun activities such as various sporting activities and tournaments, water games and canoeing
- Educational sessions and career opportunities
- A tour of the hydro-electric plant at Lake McConaughy and the facilities at the Sutherland Generation Plant
- A cookout and sing-along
- A banquet and awards ceremony
- A dance
- And much, much more
North Central PPD also provides the opportunity for one of the students who represent our district at the youth energy camp the chance to be selected to attend the National Youth Tour in Washington, D.C.
